Interesting, the site I had prepared was already to do this and the news worked. I wonder what happened that it was being build with a script that would make it work automatically, and now it doesn't. It was ready to just add this capability to, but the site is reorganized and broken now. What ever could have happened to the web site that had been there that was ready and able to take scripts for all these things?

But this is exactly what I suggested in the part of my message that you did not quote: "The only things that the script would need as input are the current file name of the splash screen and the previous ones." There is no need to keep the list of CVS versions in that file, because the script can fetch them from CVS (and therefore make sure that it gets the latest ones). For more details, see the message RFD03 that I will post in a few minutes to the gimp-web list. Hmmm... Maybe I will cross-post RFD03 to the gimp-developer list as well, since this thread has been cross-posted to both lists. I will not post all RFDs today because I still have to work on some of them and I am running out of time, but I will at least try to post the first three or four. -Raphaël ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

I understood this w/o your explanation, but the problem is that the
splash has not always been called gimp_splash.png and it will not
always be called gimp_splash.png. So instead of going through the
hassle of coping with all these exceptions, it would probably be a lot
easier to manually maintain a simple file with this information. This
is just a suggestion, do as you like.

My goal is to have a script that can do most of the stuff automatically.
The script would do a "cvs log" on gimp/data/images/gimp_splash.png and
the .ppm files that were used earlier. From this, it would extract the
revision tags ("symbolic names") and extract the list of GIMP revisions
following the pattern GIMP___. For each of the
tagged revisions, it would do a "cvs checkout -r -p" to get
the file and store the result using the appropriate file name
(including the version number). Well, it is a bit more complicated
than that, but hopefully you get the idea.
The only things that the script would need as input are the current file
name of the splash screen and the previous ones. From this, it can
extract all revisions of these files (including on the gimp-1-2 branch).
The script would automatically get the latest version from gimp CVS, so
it would not be necessary to copy and commit it in gimp-web CVS whenever
a new splash screen is added. So this would be one more step towards
the goal of making the web site as maintenance-free as possible.
For the details, see the message that I will post to the gimp-web list
in a few hours (RFD03).

They can be gotten now, I think this got put aside to await my technician to get to the holidays and then his girlfriend kept him busy and this detail was forgotten.
